Routing the Trace file directly to the TCE may be used when the eNBs are located on a network that is under the operator’s full control, not requiring secure connection between the NE and the TCE. Minimise the signalling load through the management system. A second reason can be to minimise the signalling load through the management system. A third reason can be that the operator wants to reuse secure connections between the NE and the TCEs.
